• Pooping Cat – Thoughts from March 13 and 20, 2022

  

  March 13, 2022 Today, I have an adorable story about Beatrix. She is the smallest of Scout’s kittens even though they’re not kittens anymore. I was on the toilet and she was in front of me in one of the litter boxes. She was facing away from me and scratching out a good spot to…

• Restroom Habits – Thoughts from March 6, 2022

  

  I have to write immediately because it just happened. Two things I question in the men’s restroom habits just happened one after the other. Someone came into the restroom and washed his hands. When he was done, he walked over to the urinal. This is just the first thing I have questioned in the past.…

• Competition Man – Thoughts from March 5, 2022

  

  There’s something I’ve noticed recently. I’ve noticed it before, but I’ve seen several great examples of this recently. People of color, on the whole, are nicer and more pleasant than white people. Women and gay men are more pleasant than straight men, but I’ve noticed that for years. Why is it the most privileged among…

• Restroom Stall Weirdness – Thoughts from February 23 and 27, 2022

  

  February 23, 2022 Before I left the house today, I looked up a sad song playlist. I found one and was listening to it on my way to work. Why did I want a sad song playlist? It started when something I was listening to put me in mind of the song “Don’t Cry Out…

• I’m a Bit Much – Thoughts from February 19 and 20, 2022

  

  February 19, 2022 I’m sitting in a van and the mileage on it is 77077. Excited doesn’t even state how much that delights me. Patti and I went to a casino yesterday, and I walked out $60 richer. This is about equal to that. I just began my workday about two hours ago and it’s…

• Anxious Cat and Cat Dad – Thoughts from February 15 and 16, 2022

  

  February 15, 2022 I didn’t write yesterday because I was spending time with Patti on Valentine’s Day. We went out to breakfast even though it was after 2:00 in the afternoon. Patti and I are not early risers unless we have to be. I cheated on the vegan thing with butter and eggs, but not…

• Pooping on the Super Bowl – Thoughts from February 12 and 13, 2022

  

  February 12, 2022 Well, it’s been a while since I wrote about my thoughts from life. I have been listening to my old Thoughts papers starting as early as 1991. What the hell! To say it’s weird does not encompass how weird I’ve been throughout my life. So many ups and sooooooooo many downs. It’s…

• Jamaica – Thoughts from February 19, 2019

  

  I’m in Jamaica on vacation. Specifically, I’m up at 4:00 AM on the balcony of our room eating nuts because I didn’t have anything to eat before I went to bed. At home, I have beans and rice before I go to bed and that keeps me full all night. On vacation, we eat and…

• Dream Rules – Thoughts from August 24, 2018

  

  Future note: I listed the rules of my dreams in this Thoughts paper. Enjoy. Okay, maybe I should supply a little bit more of an explanation. These rules represent the things I know are possible while I’m dreaming. They are things I know I can do and things I know I can’t do. I have…

• Mom’s Final Days – Thoughts from November 20, 2013

  

  (Future note: This was written about my mom’s final days. Her last day alive was on November 20, 2013, so that is the date of this Thoughts paper. Despite the sad subject, there were amusing and surreal happenings going on.) My mom had multiple sclerosis for many years. Near the end of her life, she…
